Duterte To New Philippine Ambassador To The UN: “Don’t You Dare Upstage Me!”

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Tough-talking, foul-mouthed President Rodrigo Roa Duterte may be having second thoughts in appointing media personality Teddyboy Locsin as his country’s new ambassador to the United Nations.

Following are some of the exchanges Locsin had on his Twitter account. Parental discretion is advised:
